KVM: PPC: Add generic single register ioctls 



Right now we transfer a static struct every time we want to get or set
registers. Unfortunately, over time we realize that there are more of
these than we thought of before and the extensibility and flexibility of
transferring a full struct every time is limited.

So this is a new approach to the problem. With these new ioctls, we can
get and set a single register that is identified by an ID. This allows for
very precise and limited transmittal of data. When we later realize that
it's a better idea to shove over multiple registers at once, we can reuse
most of the infrastructure and simply implement a GET_MANY_REGS / SET_MANY_REGS
interface.

};



Using this ioctl, a single vcpu register can be set to a specific value

defined by user space with the passed in struct kvm_one_reg, where id

refers to the register identifier as described below and addr is a pointer

to a variable with the respective size. There can be architecture agnostic

and architecture specific registers. Each have their own range of operation

and their own constants and width. To keep track of the implemented

registers, find a list below:



  Arch  |       Register        | Width (bits)

4.69 KVM_GET_ONE_REG



Capability: KVM_CAP_ONE_REG

Architectures: all

Type: vcpu ioctl

Parameters: struct kvm_one_reg (in and out)

Returns: 0 on success, negative value on failure



This ioctl allows to receive the value of a single register implemented

in a vcpu. The register to read is indicated by the "id" field of the

kvm_one_reg struct passed in. On success, the register value can be found

at the memory location pointed to by "addr".



The list of registers accessible using this interface is identical to the

list in 4.64.
